The "Lazy Newb Pack" has several tilesets and lets you swap them around painlessly. (it also lets you adjust options easily and comes with some handy utility programs)http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59026.0

The DF wiki is a good place to start: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Main_Page

Captain Duck's videos are also worth watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn1iW1QN7_s (it's about 2 1/2 hours long....he's also got some videos up for earlier versions of DF @10 minutes or so each.)

If you want a good 'how not to Dwarf Fortress,' go check out Billamanjaro and someone else's challenge forts. IIRC, it should have a wall paper with unicorns shooting rainbows.

I'll check later but between those two guys, you had 1 or 2 serious forts, and then a human town embark, and then Wooden Woods the Wood of Woods Wood Fort, and a volcano fort IIRC.

Another interesting indie game has come out:
Frozen Synapse

It's hard to describe, it's a bit like the planning phase of a tactical shooter, but I recommend you take a look at Cynical Brit's youtube review here:

It's one of those games that look awesome but the minute detail of it will eventually make me go crazy.

Although buying it just for the soundtrack would be hilarious. And for rewarding them for doing something this epically awesome. I've been following since early dev and was always concerned about the UI, but it looks like they've nailed it pretty well.

I made sure I purchased the soundtrack edition, it really fits the "cyber/futuristic" atmosphere:

Another interesting title I came across today is "Terraria".

Actually it was the best selling game on Steam this morning, so most people probably know about it. Is anyone here playing this ? Looks a bit like Minecraft in 2D smile

Very fun game. A bit shallow, there's no crazy deep modelling engine like DF and no immersiveness or creative engine like Minecraft, but it sets itself up with a nice progression pathway and some fun challenges.
